Company Overview

SCYNEXIS, Inc. is pioneering innovative medicines to overcome and prevent difficult-to-treat and drug-resistant infections. We are developing our proprietary antifungal platform “fungerps”, a novel class of antifungal agents called triterpenoids, that are structurally distinct glucan synthase inhibitors and have generally shown in vitro and in vivo activity against a broad range of human fungal pathogens such as Candida and Aspergillus genera, including multidrug-resistant strains, as well as Pneumocystis, Coccidioides, Histoplasma and Blastomyces genera and most common mucorales species.
